More Thoughts on the 2012 Rotation

A.J. will (undeservedly) get the last rotation spot, Hughes will be in the pen and Garcia will be the long reliever/spot starter.

I'm sure this is how is will be but...

I’m interested in seeing what Brad Meyers and Cesar Cabral can bring to the MLB team.

Do you think all three of those guys are gonna be on the team?

It’s a lot of arms and I think some of them aren’t needed. I can see Cashman making a deal for one of them before spring training starts.

This doesn't surprise me at all.

And truth be told, AJ’s inconsistency as a back-end starter is a lot more tolerable than as a front-end starter. Wasn’t he projected as our #2 starter going into last year?

I know where I come from, and when you always have in mind where you come from the rest will be easy. I think the rest will be easy.

No. Hughes was.

Oh yeah

It’s been only a year and I’ve forgotten that Hughes was supposed to be a front-end starter.

I'm thinking the only one who will have a decent return

would be Hughes.

Velocity

Not at 90-91 like he’s been. He doesn’t have the secondary stuff to survive at below premium velocity. His curve is a good pitch, but it isn’t “AL East good”.

He needs to be demoted to the NL.

Most arguments are really about context.
